pureSilicon unveiled its Renegade Series Solid-State Drives this week. These new SSDs are available in capacities up to 128GB and are protected from harsh physical environments by a hard-anodized unibody enclosure, carved from a single piece of aluminum. They also features hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption that delivers instantaneous encryption and decryption of data with no performance degredation.
pureSilicon Inc. unveiled the Renegade Series Solid-State Drives (SSD), the first SSDs to integrate hardware-based encryption approved by the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). The Renegade SSD is also compliant with MIL-STD-810F, a military standard that requires the SSD to sustain reliable operation during a series of rigorous tests that validate its ability to endure the extreme environments typically seen in industrial and military applications.
The pureSilicon Renegade SSD addresses the demands of the most challenging environments where heat, vibration, and humidity preclude the use of traditional hard disk drives or regular, 'consumer-grade' SSDs. A dedicated on-board cryptographic processor provides hardware-driven 256-bit AES encryption that delivers instantaneous encryption and decryption of data without degrading performance.
pureSilicon Renegade SSDs are rugged and reliable
To protect the SSD from harsh physical environments, the Renegade features a hard-anodized unibody enclosure, carved from a single piece of aluminum. Other features include high capacity (densities up to 128 GB), extreme temperature range components, high shock and vibration tolerances, ability to add conformal coating protection, and enhanced security features.
Energy-efficient and planet-friendly
pureSilicon is committed to energy efficiency and develops storage products that yield high performance per watt. Whether the goal is to increase productivity in a mobile environment or reduce energy costs in a datacenter, deploying pureSilicon SSDs will help achieve successful results. Legacy storage products such as hard disk drives are becoming less energy-efficient as manufacturers strive for higher performance; SSDs offer superior performance scalability while achieving significantly lower energy consumption.
Available in early 2009
pureSilicon has begun sampling the units on a limited basis to select customers, with shipments expected to commence in the first quarter of 2009.
